A recent study by the Island Resort Taxi Drivers Association showed that the mean fare charged for service from the beach to the airport is $21.00 and the standard deviation is $3.50. We select a sample of 15 fares. Use Appendix B.1 for the z-values.
a. What is the likelihood that the sample mean is between $20.00 and $23.00? (Round the z-value to 2 decimal places and the final answer to 4 decimal places.)
Probability
b. What must you assume to make the above calculation?
(Click to select) Assume the population is normally distributed. Assume the population is uniformly distributed. Assume the population is not normally distributed.

Suppose taxi fare from Logan Airport to downtown Boston is known to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of $2.50. The last seven times John has taken a taxi from Logan to downtown Boston, the fares have been $22.10, $23.25, $21.35, $24.50, $21.90, $20.75, and $22.65. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean taxi fare?

Cell Phone Lifetimes A recent study of the lifetimes of cell phones found the average is 24.3 months. The standard deviation is 2.6 months. If a company provides its 32 employees with a cell phone, find the probability that the mean lifetime of these phones will be less than 23.7 months. Assume cell phone life is a normally distributed variable, the sample is taken from a large population and the correction factor can be ignored. Round the final answer to...
